Understanding the Most Common Water Heater Issues
If your water heater is malfunctioning, you are not alone. Most homeowners experience some water heater issues over the lifespan of their appliances. By understanding these common problems, you can either troubleshoot them or make an informed decision when calling for professional help.
- Faulty Heating Element: Over time, the electric heating element may fail due to long-term use, mineral build-up, or power surges. When your water is not heating up properly or if the heater keeps tripping the circuit breaker, it's likely that your heating element is at fault. Replacing the element is usually the best solution, and it's a task best handled by a professional plumber.
- Leaking Drain Valve: A drain valve in your water heater helps flush out the tank by letting out water and sediment. Over time, due to wear and tear or sediment build-up, the drain valve may begin to leak. Spotting a pool of water near the base of your water heater is often a tell-tale sign. Tightening the valve or replacing it altogether can fix a leaking drain valve.
- Sediment from the Tank: Over time, minerals present in water, such as calcium and magnesium, can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, forming sediment. This sediment can cause the water heater to make rumbling or popping noises and decrease its efficiency by creating an insulation layer between the water and the heat source. Flushing the tank annually can help prevent sediment build-up.
- Malfunctioning Thermostat: The thermostat of your water heater controls the temperature of the water. A malfunctioning thermostat may cause the water to be too hot, too cold, or inconsistent. If you're experiencing these symptoms, the thermostat might be to blame. A qualified plumber can check and replace the thermostat, restoring your water heater's optimal functioning.
